Bullet resistant wall art - shelter coverings

ABSTRACT

This invention is a group of panels of bullet proof fiberglass, covered by any decorative material. Placed on any interior wall, the wall art composite serves two functions: 
     The bullet resistant panels of fiberglass span the full length and height of the area being protected against a gun attack. 
     This wall art covers the entire length and height of the area, concealing the bullet resistant function of the work.

PREAMBLE

Existing commercial and educational occupancies were built without saferooms or spaces.

Our invention addresses the lack there of by offering a wall coveringthat is bullet proof and decorative. An assault on a school, publicbuilding or office would have a safe area or room by hanging our WallArt Shield product on a wall behind which the space is then protectedagainst shooting through the wall.
